Gregory's Server
|
there's been almost twenty years of work on optimizing javascript engines with JIT and complex heuristic-based GC and a wealth of feature-rich profiling and analysis tools and validation and testing frameworks for deployment and integration and syntax improvements and functional and higher-order primitives and serverside transpiled code. and it's all enabled some amazing new stuff, for example github now takes 10 seconds to display a plain text file, and you cant search properly anymore

 @jk github's file preview ha Two (2) horizontal scroll bars for some ungodly reason and ever since it started being this way scrolling it horizontally on mobile firefox makes it choppy @jk and of course, there were lots of brick and mortar stationary stores taht sold same and the thing is, the dozens of notebooks for sale had very little true variety, so many people made their own little notebook, dissatisfied with all the commercial offerings I think that is a similar story  me: so whats the prognosis doctor: well. lets put it this way. you're full of microplastics and teflon. like everyone in your generation youve been exposed to so much BPA, talc asbestos, aspartame, and volatile organic IKEA offgassing compounds that you have, to use the medical term, transformed, into what we could call, to use the medical term, a 'cryptid'. morally you're on team nature, as culpable as the weather. and your lifestyle needs improvement. you should get into e-sports simply knowing that "MIDI baud rate is exactly twice the PAL horizontal blanking frequency" is an infohazard that may tempt you into actions that have the potential to destroy your vintage CRT displays and thousands of dollars of synthesiser equipment

@jk this probably explains all of Electronico Fantastico https://www.instagram.com/p/CvKMK0Lvlf1/?igshid=NjIwNzIyMDk2Mg== portrait orientation TVs are gonna be the big new thing i reckon - popular with the under-25s

  @jk also good for reading long form content like eBooks and Mastodon feed from the sofa i dreamt last night that there was a "new version of ls" which included a flag which would list each file's "gender". and there were a LOT of different ones and people were arguing about what all the abbreviations meant because it wasn't consistent across distributions

 @jk I doubt a simple program like ls would be up to the job tho. It's only looking at the files superficially, from a file system point of view. But you simply don't know how they dress up these days. To determine the real gender of a given file, you would have to look very strongly at the bytestream with a hex editor. That's mandatory before permitting write access in a public bathroom in Florida. imo if you wanna stop being addicted to twitter or whatever you just need to care less about knowing what all the other people in the world are doing and thinking all the time. cultivate a rich inner world. bake a book. read a bread. touch moss. eat mud. chase a large grazing beast with your claws and fangs. healthy things like that

@jk I only like reading news from reddit world news. Twitter for news is very distracting i feel like britain already has a version of What3Words in the form of pub names. youd be like "hey, meet me at the Horny Curious Oat" @jk My favourite name for a pub is 𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗞𝗲𝗯𝗮𝗯 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 from the 80s TV show, The Young Ones. you know when a cat realizes that youre trying to take it to the vet? i think pretty soon planet earth is gonna start doing that  @jk Or the Humans all start doing it. But it's too late. The purpose of a fever is to burn out the disease… if you want your code to look real sharp, you can just write a horrific-looking function, paste it into the godbolt compiler explorer, find the 50 lines of C have been reduced down to 4 assembly instructions, and then rewrite them in C. everyone will think you're a genius. your boss will come by and slap you on the back. "you're the next john carmack!! HUA HUA HUA HUA!!" is what he will say. he will say "I AM GIVING YOU A RAISE!! HUA HUA HUA" @jk It's so weird that companies insist all software engineering managers talk like this. got 4800 servers in an abandoned warehouse by the docks, all instantiating java.net.URL and putting them into a hashtable |
@jk is the pidge touching down, or going up? Who's to say? maybe they''re just levitating and vibrating really hard
@jk I can relate to this, here's (an attempt of) a picture of a cat
